fromlostdays said As a veteran HyperSpinner, I would be remiss not to admonish you for buying those premades. Not on principle but because if you don't build it yourself, you're gonna have a bad time trying to get it to work. Hi... not sure who you are responding to... the bezels, above, are ones that we made. They are working properly. Unless I missed something, no one is talking about buying them???

Looks really cool, Scree... nice idea to do them for different systems. I have been making a bunch and having a lot of fun with it... my screenshots have been turning out really poorly, though... the only way I can figure out how to capture the bezel with RL is using the old fashioned print screen and the aspect ratios look messed up... maybe because of dual monitors? Not sure. Anyway, thanks for showing off your snapshots.

I also have a full split set and it is working fine. What MAME exe version do you use?

Sorry, I was trying to edit that I missed that he had changed his paths already, but for some reason the forum is telling me I don't have permissions to edit my posts.

Some of the default paths you will want to change... make sure they point to where you have your various files.

I think that comes back to the need for more sorting options.

In my last import, 1941 had double entries again... weird that it is only that game. I have not found another example like that. Simple as deleting and manually importing, but thought I would mention it.

When sorting by "Release Date Year", I would like to be able to sub-sort each year alphabetically by title. In other words, grouped by year, sorted by title. In general, a secondary sorting option would be pretty useful.

With the changes in DOS game importing, should games, such as GoG, that were originally DOS but install PC style now show under the DOS or PC section in LB?

Just finished with the first import of the new rom set, and looking things over. Everything looks perfect. Very streamlined. The only thing I could even spot as a possible bug, which is pretty insignificant, is it looks like a "blank" emulator entry was added in my list of emulators. Obviously, not a big deal. Looking good.

On a side note, I just got 12+12 as the forum "math required" question... if it goes much higher I'm not going to be able to post.

Thanks, Jason... back to business as usual.

Is there an .exe we can download somewhere if we are unable to open LB to update?

Probably something on my end, but the 2nd beta version today, the one just uploaded, will not launch. Usually, it re-launches after updating but did not. Also, my normal icon to launch LB is not working.

I love that you added checkboxes for what notes to include. I will probably leave out ports and I'm sure someone else will want those notes, so it's great to have options.

I would like to humbly suggest that labeling and dividing the notes in the changelog to correspond with the beta # will make it easier for beta users to identify what changes were made in the most recent versions and give some direction in what to look for while beta testing. ex. Beta 10: These changes were made... etc...

I just finished acquiring a split rom set (because everyone told me to... lol) and have been waiting for your new Lightspeed version to get it set up. Probably will do that today. I think some of the features in Lightspeed (filters, rom moving, merged roms, etc...) are going to fill in some gaps for some MAME users who don't even use Launchbox. I think it's becoming a very helpful tool.

If you have been wanting to get your MAME collection in LaunchBox, you need this!

I use title screens.

It took most of a day when I did mine and I only have about 100 games.

Antropus said Drybonz, You might like to know that the next version of Lightspeed will support what you want to do. By now you probably already moved ahead and downloaded the split sets, but I'm adding this feature to Lightspeed for anyone with merged sets to use. Cheers, -Kris I actually am in the process of setting up a split set even as I read this, but I think it's a great feature as I am seeing plenty of merged sets still available for download... so I think there will always be someone to appreciate that convenience. So, thanks for adding that.

DOS76 said How did you get the CD's to run in ME Hey Derek... I remember years ago I was going crazy trying to get Ys and Rondo of Blood to work in Magic Engine. I finally discovered that the problems were mostly with the image format. There were a lot of bad images floating around that ME didn't like.

I used to always use Magic Engine, but now I use the Mednafen core in Retroarch.

I'm looking forward to the first two there... also Ultima Ascendant, and the new River City Ransom.

Well, I figured out how to get my bezels on the second monitor with RL... What I ended up doing was copying my entire RocketLauncher folder into a RocketLauncher 2 folder, then setting them up as two separate emulators in LaunchBox... the RocketLauncher 2 is set to display bezels on my second monitor (since RL doesn't have those bezel settings per game). Now I just change between the two in LB per game, depending on which monitor I want it on. So, I can use RL bezel packs, and the style I made, above... as well as the default cropped vertical style in MAME. Here's one I just finished for Centipede. :)
